Rolling Stones-inspired road names are to be used in the third phase of The Bridge development in Dartford, where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards grew up. Eleven road names, including Stones Avenue and Satisfaction Street, were approved subject to further consultation by Dartford Borough Council's Cabinet. Wayne Hemingway, collaborative designer on The Bridge, came up with the idea alongside Dartford Borough Council Leader, Jeremy Kite. Wayne said: "Using the Stones for road names at The Bridge gives this new community a unique sense of history, but also highlights Dartford's immense contribution to our modern music culture. It will be fun to live on a road with a rock star legacy. The locals have been getting in the swing with suggestions like ‘Lets call the bicycle shelters "Gimme Shelters"'" The Bridge is a £350m mixed-use regeneration project that is being developed as a joint venture with Dartford Borough Council and ProLogis Developments.
